tils—that if you I olci out to the people of Ireland—Pro cstant I and Catholic — th at e q ual p rivile g es are not honestl y and per fecly to be communicated to both, you hold out a princii le on wh:ch it is impossible the country can be governed."—( Chceri. The Duke of CUMBERLAND—I don't deny that. Lord PLUNK ET—Oh, then, I see the. Illustrious Duke and I arc, after all, about to arrive at the same conclusion.— ( Hear.) The Illustrious Duke is about to give in his adhe sion to the principle which I have laid down, and depart from the representation which I gave of his opinions (and which he so heartily cheered) on the question of Catholic Emancipa tion.—( Loud cries of " Hear.") Now, does the Illustriou , Duke admit that the principle on which the Government of Ireland should be conducted, and the law applied, is the prin ciple of equal right to the whole of the people ? The Duke of CUMBERLAND—I agree to that. Let the Government do so. Lord PLUNKET—WeII, then, as we are now at length agreed as to what should be the object of the Government, we have next to consider by what means it is to be obtained. At all events, the Illustrious Du ke admits, and after his announce ment of his concurrence in it, I am. inclined to think that no one will now be found rea d y to dispute the guiding principle on which the Irish Government should be conducted, namely, that it should fairly carry the intentioos of the Legislature into effect, and give, in fact and truth, equal laws and rights to all the people of Ireland, without any religious .. (Ch eers .) That, my Lords,is a fair principle ; I clam; no more—l desire no more. I believe that no respectable portion of the Roman Catholics desire more.—( Hear.) But the Illus trious Duke says, " Let that be done." How ? By the only means, in which it can be effected—by the arm of the law and the authority of the Government of the country.—(Hear.) Nothing can be dasier than to apply harsh epithets to a Go vernment —to say that it is unjust and partial—that it has abandoned one interest, and that its favour runs exclusively in a particular channel ; and when I had the honour of coming lately from Ireland to attend my duties here, I found a storm upon this topic rising in every direction : I heard of nothing but the gross abuses of the Irish Government—of the various acts which they had committed—the things which they had done, and which they should have left undone, and the things which they should have done, but which they had neglected to do. One most serious charge, however, against them was, that they had neglected the Protestant interest. But I have not heard any distinct act of omission or commission on the part of the Irish Government.—(Hear, hear.) The ludicrous charges brought against the Government are really the greatest triumph which it can have over its opponents, for after all the anxiety to detect their errors and show that they have violated every principle of the constitution, the only specific charge al leged against it, is Lord Mulgrave having invited Mr. O'Con nell to dinner.—( Hear, and laughter.) It is really a thing to occupy a page in history, and after-ages are to read it with astonishment, " that on such a day in January, 1836, Lord Mul grave sent his aide-de-camp to wait on Mr. O'Connell, to ask him to dinner in Dublin Castle." I again repel the charge made on the Irish Government. I give a direct and positive denial to all charges which are general and vague. Mr. O'Connell, Mr. O'Connell, Mr. O'Connell I No other name is mentioned at present by those opposed to the Go. vernment. Why, my Lords, Mr. O'Connell possesses more influence than he himself has feelingly stated he ought to possess, or than any man ought to enjoy. But how has he become possessed of it ? Why , my Lords, every grievance that you leave unredressed—every un j ust attackon the privi leges of the people (no matter what maybe their religious belief) --every declaration that you make that the same laws shall not be administered in spirit and effect to all classes, is but addifig strength to the influence of that individual.—( Cheers.) I have never known Ireland in such a state of tranquillity as she is at this moment.—(Cheers.) Would any Government, in their senses, reject the support of such an influential. individual when he offers them his services? Have former Govern ments acted on the principle which is now so dogmatically laid down ? Has the Noble Duke, who was one time at the head of the Government of this country, and who has since been the leader of the association—has he refused to take the assistance of individuals unless they exactly coincided with him in political opinions ? Why had he taken the assistance of the Noble Marquis (Londonderry, we believe) ? Why bad he taken the assistance of persons friendly to a system of reform, he himself being directly opposed to it ? But it is said Mr. O'Connell has not expressed proper opinions of your Lordships' House and of your Lordships as individuals. My Lords, is it the duty of the Government to keep a kind of re gister of the expressions of all public men, with the view of determining what exactly should be the temper displayed by each individual, and the language in which his thoughts should be clothed, so as to fix a standard according to which the support of a public man might be received? It was my fate to meet on many occasions at the tables of Lords Lieu tenant, Dr. Duigen ; and yet there was no language of vitupe • ration and of abuse which he had not, at one time or other, lavished sometimes on the Government, and at other times on those opposed to it. I, however, never heard a formal charge brought against any Lord Lieutenant of having asked that individual to dine. Though he was sorry to introduce so invidious a topic, he felt obliged to mention that the appoint ments of Protestants made br the Irish Government bore a fair proportion to those of Roman Catholics. One judge had been appointed, and he was a Protestant.—( Hear, hear.) A number of assistant barristers have also been appointed. I can repeat the names of three or four who are Protestants. There arc, perhaps, an equal number of Roman Catholics. But Ido not believe that any inquiry was ever made, or question asked, as to whether these individuals were Protestant or Roman Catholic. The Noble and Learned Lord concluded by ex pressing a hope that when the Noble Lord had time to reflect between the present time, and the meeting of the Association on the 11th of April, his speech would be more calculated to produce the effect which he seemed desirous to attain, than the greater portion of his address on the present oc casion.—( Cheers. ) Lord WINCH IL SE A maintained that the course adopted on the present occasion was but a part of the system adOpted by the Government for the destruction of Protestantism, and the discouragement of loyal Protestants in Ireland. Lord HAT H ERTON maintained that the address to the Crown from the House of Commons on the subject of Orange societies, in consequence of which they bad been abolished, was not unconstitutional, being justified by precedent. He referred to the proceedings, in 1807, upon the Reversion Bill, which had been sent up to the House of Lords by the Com mons, but which the Lords refused to pass. The consequence was, that the House of Commons i‘nmediately voted an address to the Crown, praying that it would not give any places in re version for six weeks after the next meeting of Parliament. Now this was a much stronger step than that taken on the present occasion, being the usurpation of a sort of temporary legislation, which, perhaps, might fiirly be con ceived contrary to the spirit of our Constitution. He was re joiced to find that the opinion of the House of Commons had been acted upon on the present occasion. In order to show to what an extent the spirit of party bad prevailed hitherto in the disposition of Government patronage in Ireland, he would merely trouble the House with a brief statement of a few of the appointments as he found them distributed on going over to Ireland in 1833. On the ordinary Commission of the Peace there were 2 668 persons, of whom only 292 were Ro man Catholics ; police magistrates 25, of which 2 were Ro man Catholics ; sub-inspectors of police 216, of which 22 were Roman Catholics ; town-councillors 34, of which 2 were Ro man Catholics; lieutenants of counties 32, of which 2 were Roman Catholic; assistant-barristers 32, of which there were 3 Roman Catholics. Such was the state of the case in 1833, when he went over to Ireland. If the Noble Lord, now the Representative of his Majesty in that country, came into office, finding a slight reduction of this glaring inequality and favouritism, which he believed might have, been the case, lie trusted that the Nt.ble Lord would be stimulated by that circumstance to reduce still further all sautes of complaint of that kind. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY briefly replied. He could not sec that the statements just made by the Noble Lord . opposite, in reference to the appointments of the two late Lord Lieutenants, had anything to do with those of the present Lord Lieutenant, and therefore was no answer to his (Lord Londonderry's) charge and complaint—namely, that in the present disposition of the patronage of the Irish Government, the fact of being a staunch Protestant was held a sufficient disqualification against any one, be he who he might. If the Noble Lord opposite would consent to give him a return of the number of appointments made by the present Irish Govern ment, stating by whom recommended, and also, as far as pos sible, whether the parties were Catholics or Protestants, he believed he should be able to bear out, to the fullest extent, the statements which he had made to the House upon the subject. The motion was then agreed to, and their Lordships ad journed at half-past nine o'clock. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S. The betting on the Portland Handicap was spirited and import ant, the north country favourite having given place to Birdlime, who was backed freely. The odds were also taken about Dacre, Revenge, Hornsey, and Brother to Hope, but Mundig's friends were shy. The Derby prices underwent some changes ; Brother to Nell Gwynne declined to 12 to 1, and Muezzin to 22 to 1, and several parties appeared anxious to bet against the Brother to Maria and Riddlesworth. The business, however, was not by any means brisk on this race. Nothing done on the Oaks. Closing prices : THE PORTI.I:I7D HANDICAP, P.

The Meeting which was held yesterday at Guildhall, for the total abolition of the Stamp-duty on Newspapers, will not fail. to produce a powerful effect, not only in the quarter from which relief is expected, but throughout the wbole country. The advocates of a monopoly of knowledge— those heartless and sordid wretches who would debar the people from political instruction to fill their own pockets— will not now say that the citizens of London are indifferent to this great question. The proceedings of yesterday afford a noble, and to many we doubt not, an unexpected illustra tion of the popular feeling of the metropolis on this vital point. Those who have had the longest experience of City Meetings, declare (that they never saw one so numerously attended, or one which excited so intense an interest. Not only was the immense Hall completely thronged, but thou sands of persons were unable to gain admission. We. need not say, that the object of the Meeting has our most heorty concurrence. If there is one thing which ought to be more free than another to the people, it is Knowledge ; every thing, therefore, that impedes its widest dissemination is an encroachment on their rights. It is also an insult to their understandings. For what do the monopolists say ? Why this—" We do not deny that the people have a right to the most extensive circula tion of Knowledge, but we are afraid they would make a bad use of it." This is their argument, and a more ridiculous one never was broached ; for upon the same prin ciple, the Press ought to be extinguished. Who does not know that the greatest blessings under Heaven may be abused? But arc we, on that account, to deny ourselves the blessings? Shall we not breathe the air, because we may inhale infection ? Are we not to swallow food lest we should be poisoned? Must we put out our fires for fear of being- burnt to death ? And, lastly, must our reason—that divine principle which distinguishes us from the brutes—lie dormant because its exercise may sometimes lead us to erroneous conclusions? Yet not less absurd is the argument of those who arc afraid to trust the people with KnoWledge. The speeches delivered on this occasion were excellent. The iniquity of the tax in principle, and its pernicious con sequences in practice, were illustrated by several speakers with great effect. Mr. TRAVERS spoke with great point and force. Mr. GROTE opened the business of the day with an argumentative and luminous address. Mr. HuME and Mr. B. WOOD showed, by comparing the Newspaper circulation of ether countries with that of our own, how mischievously the tax operated ; and Mr. O'CoNNELL, —who, by the bye, was received in a manner that must have satisfied the most boundless vanity—delighted the audience with one of those eloquent harangues which never fail to electrify his hearers. Lord FRANCIS EGERTON brought forward last night, what some wag of the Wetherall school taught him to de nominate an " Amendment" upon the Irish Corporation Bill ; the debate upon which occupied the House of Com mons during the greater part of the evening, and was finally adjourned over till this day. In their desperation the Tories are resolved to play a deep game. They were Conservatives—idolaters of the wisdom of our ancestors — worshippers of old parchment about a month ago ; now they are Destructives in the most sweeping sense of that term. They are no longer for calm and deliberate approaches to the citadel of corruption ; they no longer entreat Eng lishmen to pause and consider what a SHERLOCK or a SACHEVERELL would Lave thought of moving at a qu:elc race in tl e path of Reform. They can see without Convocaticn spectacles ; and understand with out consulting RYmEn, or those black-letter authorities, who if they do not supply arguments to convince, afford dust wherewith to blind a political opponent. The leaders of the Tory party have taken the lead of the Radicals. They are for no mending—no patching up of a rotten system. Where Ministers propose to employ the pruning knife, they are for substituting the axe. " The Irish Cor poration tree is unsound," argue the Ministers ; " then why cumbereth it the ground ?" shout the Tories in virtu ous indignation. "If you dress it, an enemy may gather the fruit ; let us then destroy it root and branch. You are pledged to abolish abuses ; what has no existence is liable to no abuse." Thus, self is the root of all Tory patriotism. The heart of that corrupt faction—now nearly extinct — never felt a throb in favour of genuine liberty. Its chiefs never cared a rush for the Constitution of Great Britain, except so far as it might be made the instrument OT enrich- ing themselves. Thus, the moment the Legislature proposes to reform the municipal Government of the country—to give the majority of the citizens a right to controul the expenditure of their own money, and to elect those by whom they arc to be governed—the Tories start up, and in utter disregard of all that they have been in the habit of urging for the last hundred and fifty years, protest that, the Corporations are so bad, that the evil can only be eradicated by abolishing them altogether. We hear no more of the venerableness of civic institutions—of the neces sity of toasting, at the public expense, the " Glori ous and Immortal Memory"—nor of the impossibility of wresting from the champions of the Church mili tant those arms with which, in the language of the faction, " they have beaten down the altars of Popery." Oh ! the ingratitude of these Tories ! Have they so soon reconciled themselves to abandon early recollections and associations. as thus to goad on Ministers to the destruction of their youthful haunts—of those bowers of bigotry and hot-beds of persecuting intolerance, which supplied them with the political going-stools:vrhich enabled them to tread the mazes of official aggrandizement ? Have they no bowels of com passion, that they thus kick down the idols of defunct ' Orangeism ? The most celebrated of SOLOMON'S judgments is that in which he detected the spurious mother, by her willing ness to sacrifice the child, rather than it should be given to her opponent. The real parent preferred the safety of her infant, to the gratification of her maternal yearnings. In the precedent left us by the King of ISRAEL, we have an exact counterpart of the Whig and Tory struggle for the reform of the Irish Corporations. The Tories—the spu rious guardians of liberty—are for abolishing the munici palities, rather than allow the majority of the Irish people to participate in the advantages conferred by institutions, which, according to themselves, not twelve months ago, " could not be abolished without endangering the Con stitution of these kingdoms." Before it was contem plated to compel corporators to admit Catholics into their body, no Associations could be more pure—more unpreju diced—more zealous for the honour of - the Crown and the Freedom of the people—more eager to promote the peace and prosperity of the country—more free from bigotry and all sectarian uncharitableness—more enlightened, liberal, and patriotic—more lavish of their purses, on all occasions of public and private distress, than were those cedars of Lebanon, those pillars of English Episcopacy—the Irish Corporations. But now that it is proposed to make the will of an ignorant, bigotted, besotted faction, subservient to the happiness of a great nation, the crime of immacu- lacy is changed into a fierce denunciation of errors irre- trievable, and abuses so foul and so monstrous as to be only eradicable by the destruction of the system in which they were engendered. No evidence can be more conclusive of the mal-admi nistration of the Corporate Government of Ireland, than what is furnished by the zeal of the Tories to de- stroy the system, rather than suffer its management to pass out of their bands. Those who never pointed their guns against an enemy would never think of spiking them before quitting the town. The chiefs of the all but defunct faction, now in opposition, feel that their tools trem ble at the thought of being placed on an equal footing with their Catholic countrymen—that the memory of their inso lence, and their oppression, is fresh in the minds of an in jured and triumphant people. Such fears are natural enough ; but happily, there exist no grounds for them. The Catholics have proved that they know how to enter upon the exercise of their just rights, without descending to the meanness of noticing the by-gone insults heaped upon them, by petty jobbers in bigotry and faction, no longer in a condition to resist the course of public justice. Lord MORPETH, however, in a speech fraught with sound constitutional views, destroyed the hopes of the Tory Destructives. His Lordship confounded the SHAWS, the PERCEVALS, and the JACKSONS, by de claring that they were mistaken in supposing that the Government was disposed to overlook the happiness of the people of Ireland, merely to gratify the ambition of a nume rically insignificant Sect ; or that offices existed only with a view to their being filled by the partizans of Orangeism. It would appear, in fact, from the tone assumed by the Irish Tories, that they had never before considered them selves in any other light than as the Irish nation ; and that without them England would not think it worth her while to legislate for the Irish people. Henceforth they willbe taught a new lesson. If nothing less will serve, experience will soon teach them that British toleration has no political or personal limits ; and that the happiness of the Irish people is of much more importance in the eyes of an English Par liament than either their adherence to, or their renunciation of, the superstitions of Popery. The question of the Orange Lodges was brought be fore the House of Lords last night by the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, and gave rise to much warmth of feeling on the part of the Tory Peers who engaged in it. The Earl of RODEN, in particular, was alternately pathetic and indignant, while he dwelt on the virtues of the Orange men, and the way in which those virtues bad been recom pensed by an ungrateful Government; and expressed his apprehensions that his afflicted brethren would never sur vive the shock of their dissolution as a Society. Accord ing to the Noble Earl, there never yet were such an imma culate body of men heard of. Their forbearance was only to be equalled by their sagacity, and their sagacity by their more than Spartan patriotism. They never aimed at Protestant ascendancy in Ireland ; they never attempted to perpetuate a system of monopoly or exclusiveness ; they never signalized themselves by their inveterate hostility to their Catholic fellow -countrymen—none of these things did the Irish Orangemen ever do, or even dream of doing : not they ; they were always patterns of meekness and philanthropy, recognizing no distinctions of creeds or sects, but desirous only to promote the general welfare of their beloved country. And yet Ministers, insti gated, no doubt, by the Evil One, had suddenly come to a determination to put them down ! Well might Lord RODEN lament such a determination. The subject w as one admirably suited to his pathetic powers of fancy. But if the Noble Earl was plaintive, the Noble Marquis was as usual diametrically the reverse. He was full of a lofty and intrepid indignation, to which we should have had nothing to object, had it been in the slightest degree amenable to, or regulated by, the dictates of common sense. But in the ex cess of his party wrath, his Lordship set all reason at de fiance. He was argumentative, but against Orangeisrn— convincing, but against himself. His was the rare luck to prove everything which he most wished to disprove. But indeed in all matters of reasoning the Noble Marquis is a perfect scorpion, and never fails to sting himself with his own tail. In allusion to this delicate infirmity, Lord MEL BOURNE archly observed, " he had said on a former occasion that the Noble Marquis stood completely exculpated, but he could not say that he was precisely of that opinion, now that he had heard his defence." See what comes of undue loquacity ! We have no desire to speak irreverently of this unlucky Peer ; but we must say that he never appears to such advantage in the House of Lords, as when he is holding his tongue. Silent meditation becomes him. He should indulge in eternal reverie. His whole explanation last night was a mere rambling tirade of words without method or meaning, except as telling against himself and his party; and had no other effect than to drag from the Duke Of CUMBERLAND, and Lords WYNFORD, WINCIITL SEA, and RODEN, an admission that they were still rank Orangemen at heart, and submitted to "dissolution" with the worst grace possible. But this was not the only disastrous eon- sequence of the Noble Marqui,2s explanation ; for it had the still further effect of drawing forth from Lord PL UN KETT one of the most unanswerable speeches ever deli vered in Parliament ; in which his Lordship reduced to their proper level all the lofty professions of Orangcism, and showed how incompatible such a system was with the wel fare of Ireland. But it is useless to pursue this subject further. The Ascendancy system is extinct ; and not even the eloquence of a LONDONDERRY will be able to revive it. He must now look about him for some other " mare's nest ;" and exercise his ingenuity, in the discovery of some fresher grievance. We should not omit to state, that his Lord ship and his Orange colleagues expressed a degree of sore nese, almost without parallel, at the attacks to ►which they had been lately subjected at the hands of a " licentious Press." The Noble Marquis said "he had been the object of perhaps the grossest and most malignant attacks ever heard of;" the Duke of CUMBERLAND observed that, " for the last six month's he had been abused, accused, and treated in the most cruel manner ;" and Lord WYNFORD added, that he " had been wickedly and infamously charged with a design to change the succession." What a set of injured innocents! When abuse is levelled against them, nothing is so cruel, nothing so unjustifiable ; but when it is their adversaries that are attacked, then the abuse is all just and proper. You may vilify a Whig, but beware how you say aught to the disparagement of a Tory, for what is a virtue in the One case, degenerates into a vice in the other. We have received the whole of the Paris Papers of Sunday. Their contents, with the exception of an artic!e which we copy from the Debots, arc unimportant. The Times, however, in a second edition, publishes the following express from Paris—dated several hours later than any of the Evening Journals of Sunday : " PARIS, SUNDAY, 10, P.M.-The French Government has received a telegraphic despatch this afternoon from Narbonne, announcing that, on the 28th of February, 3,000 Carlists had surprised and killed, or made prisoners, 600 of the Queen's troops in the defiles of Olania. " On the Ist of March the Queen's troops were beaten by General Brujo, near Ripol, which was closely pressed by Brujo's division, and by that of Tristani. " On the 3d the 300 men which occupied Ribar were driven back on Doris, and it was asserted that General Mina had set out on the 2d for Manresa. Fresh disturbances were ap prehended at Barcelona." " In a second despatch it is stated, that on the sth of March 4,000 Carlists, with 100 horse, were near Reycerda, threaten ing the town. The peasants of the plain were flying in crowds for refuge to the French territory." We shall offer no comment upon this communication, as we have no means of ascertaining whether it be not a fa brication of the Carlists, with a view to promote some stock-jobbing speculation. It is altogether a very sus picious-looking affair. The following is the article from the Journal des Debats, and if the facts stated in it be correct, MINA deserves to be hanged. None but a monster of cruelty could so dis grace the just and Constitutional cause of the Spanish patriots " The Memorial des Pyrenees of the Ist of March contains the following statement, which, however, we can hardly bring ourselves to believe, as it relates to a crime of so atrocious a die, that for the honour of Spain, and of its Government, we are still inclined to entertain some doubts as to its authenti city : It is with a painful shudder that we copy from the Diario of Saragossa the following order of the day. We read it over several times, in order to be convinced that we had not formed an erroneous interpretation of such atrocious regula tions signed by the Commander-in-Chief, Augustin Nogueras : The moment I received your last despatch I forwarded it to the Captain-General of this province, not thinking myself sufficiently authorized to punish the mother of the rebel Cabrera for the atrocities committed by her son; in fact, I was not vested with the necessary powers for exacting such an expiation. I have just now (6 o'clock in the evening) received despatches by a courier from Catalonia containing an order from his Excellency, in which is included another addressed to you, and by which I learn that your wishes have been acceded to. Consequently at 6 o'clock to-morrow morning the mother of the cruel Cabrera is to be shot, her three sisters shall be ar rested this evening, as also the nearest relatives of the rebel chiefs and officers, in order to prevent these barbarians from continuing in their system of atrocities by interesting them in the fate of those who adhere to them, PARIS, Marten 6.—The Ministerial journals announce that the Government has received the official news of the accep tance of the mediation of Great Britain by the Government of the United States. The Inzpartial rectifies, as follows, the reports of interven tion, which have been circulated on 'Change : " It has been said that the intervention in Spain has been decided in the Council of Ministers ; the question has not been at all discussed in the Council, in which M. Thiers only expressed, in strong terms, his opinion respecting the legitimacy of Don Carlos, declaring that France would never recognise that Prince, even though he shall succeed in getting himself crowned at Madrid." The Phare gives a curious extract of a letter from Madrid, dated Feb. 24. " It was decided in a Council of Ministers, the day be fore yesterday that the buPs of the Pope should no lon ger be obeyed, and tint the ecclesiastical supremacy should be in the person of the Archbishop of Toledo. The Court of Rome has well merited this decision, for you know that it has not yet recognised our young Queen." A new application of the laws of September was made yes terday by the Correctional Tribunal. M. Dcshayes, a litho grapher, was sentenced to a month's imprisonment and a fine of 1,000 francs, for having exposed to sale, without being au thorised, a print representing the execution of Fieschi, Morey, and Pepin. The trial of the Priest Delacollonge is not yet concluded. —Messager, March 6. THE NEWSPAPER STAMP.—We are happy that Birmingham is about to stir in the contest of light against darkness, now being waged in so many other towns. A pre liminary meeting of the Council of the Political Union, and others favourable to the extinction of the taxes on knowledge, was held on Wednesday, when it was unanimously resolved' to call a meeting in the Town-hall, on Wednesday, to petition Parliament on the subject. We trust it will be well attended. It is the cause of every man who wishes the community to be either free or peaceful. TAX ON NEWSPAPERS.—A petition is now in course of signature at Carlisle for a repeal of the Stamp Duty on Newspapers. It prays for an entire abolition of the tax. Another petition in favour of the repeal of the tax upon news papers has been most numerously and respectably signed in Brampton. A labouring man of the name of Hunwhries, hung himself at Kenn, lately. He was going to be married at Lady-day. No cause is assigned fur this act. GREY MEMORIAL.—A public meeting of sub scribers will take place on Friday next at Kelso. DEATH OF A WIFE FROM BLOWS INFLICTED By SIRE HusnAND.—On Thursday morning last a female, named Hughes, the wife of Hugh Hughes, the keeper of the Saloon, in Williamson-street, L . w as iverpool, expired, it ru moured, in consequence of blows inflicted upon her by her hus band on the preceding Sunday night or Monday morning. He was apprehended •tori Friday in St. John's-market. An in quest was held on Saturday, in the Court over the Police office, for the purpose of inquiring into the circumstances which bad led to the death of the deceased. Mr. Jeffrey, surgeon, deposed, that he was called to attend Mrs. Hughes on Monday last. She complained of extreme pain over her heart, stomach, and right shoulder, and generally of pain all over her body. She was extremely faint and low. Her body exhibited bruises over nearly its whole surface. These were particularly obvious over the right breast, and on the left breast over the heart ; there were several livid marks upon her shoulder, upon the left hip and thigh. The legs, foot, and ancles were covered with bruises, bearing all the appearance of blows or kicks, and which must have been produced by ex ternal violence of some kind. Witness was of opinion, that the death of the deceased had been occasioned by external in juries which she had received. The rupture of the spleen was s ufficient to cause death. The prisoner said nothing in his defence. The Jury delivered against the prisoner a verdictof Manslaughter. The Coroner committed the prisoner to gaol, to remain for trial at the next Assizes. The witnesses were bound in recognizances of 1,0001. each. —Liverpool Albion. REVERSE OF FORTUNE.—BRUNSWICK, FEB. 21.--Some time ago a packet, charged with heavy postage, was received here by a man in indigent circumstances, named Lefebvre. He was not able to pay the postage, and his son, to whom it was afterwards offered, was on the point of refusing it, when a fellow-workman of the latter, named Gille, said, One cannot tell what good fortune it may bring ; I will advance the postage for you." The packet was opened—the astonishment of the poor man may be conceived when he read a decree of a French Court of Police, informing him that his father Lefebvre was the sole heir of Marshal Lefebvre, Duke of Dantzic, and that he had only to come and receive the eight millions left by his illustrious relative. Lefebvre (the father) mmediately set out for Paris, accompanied by a good lawyer. The Devil quoting Scripture was seen last Friday in the Cornwall Royal Gazette, disguised as a correspondent. In the book of Proverbs, saith the sable preacher to Si r W m. Molesivorth, in the book we are told, Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when lie stumbleth."—From the same book we are commanded, " If thine enemy be hungry give him bread to eat, and if he be thirsty give him water to drink." In the New Testament we find our Lord impressing the self same lesson upon his fol lowers : " Ye have heard it has been said, thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy ; but I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you." How little must these doctrines have impressed themselves upon the heart of the member for East Corn wall, for we find him in his ill-judged and vindictive speech on the subject of Orange Lodges, saying " He who spared a foe, inflicted a wound upon himself." The Bible tells us that for acts of mercy to an enemy " The Lord shall reward thee." Electors of East Cornwall—does this man represent or misre present you in the great council of the nation ? THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, MARCH 8, 1836. CLOSE of the C 03131ITTEE. 110 USE OF COMMONS, Hall:past 2 0,,/,„k. The examination of Mr. Baker and the lice. Mr. Maher having concluded, Mr. Sergeant WILDS stated that Mr. O'Connell and his son Mr. John O'Connell, were now ready to answer any questions ‘vhich his Learned Friend or the Committee might think think fit to put to him. A pause bay ing ensued, Mr. O'CONNELL said be was perfectly ready to answer any question which might be calculated to throw light on any part of the transaction which might require further explanation. The CHAIRMAN said the Committee would leave it en tirely to the discretion of the Learned Counsel whether or not they would exlmine Mr. O'Connell or his son. Sir F. Pommel,: declined putting any question. Mr. O'CONNELL said the only thing he had to add was this —Some doubt having arisen as to the construction of the agreement between him and Mr. Raphael, and the latter having paid money over and above the two thousand pounds, he was quite willing to leave it to the determination of any one or two gentlemen to be mutually appointA, and if it was their opinion that he should pay the money which Mr. Raphael had expended, over and above the 2,0001., be was satisfied to do sr. . , Mr. Sergeant WILDE said his case dosed hire, and Sir F. POLLOCK not conceiving it any portion of his duty to address the Committee, the proceedings terminated. The Committee are to meet to-morrow to consider their Report. DUBLIN ELECTION COMMITTEE. (THIS DAY.) This Committee were engaged to-day in hearing the argu ments of Counsel upon the admissibility of certain evidence taken before the Commissioners in Dublin, and which had been placed on the admitted sheet, but with a marginal note, stating that they intended putting it on the rejected sheet. No decision of any importance was come to when our reportQr left. PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY. In the Loans' last night the principal topic of discussion was the Orange Lodges. The Marquis of Londonderry in a long, desultory, and most disorderly speech, commented in detail on what had been said on the subject of Orangeism in the other House of Parliament. Lord Melbourne, however, made no objection to the course taken by the Noble Marquis, "because the Noble Marquis stated he was on his defence." The im pression produced by the abortive attempt of the Noble Mar quis to exculpate himself and his confedrate Conservatives was a still stronger conviction of the criminality of all the parties engaged in the Secret Associations of which they were leading members. The Duke of Cumberland com plained of the injury his character had suffered from his misreported treasonable projects. The charge, he declared, was wholly without foundation ; his only desire was to uphold Protestantism, to the principles of which be should always ad here. Lord Wynford also made a long rambling speech in his defence, in the course of which he, by mistake, attributed something to the Illustrious Duke, which the latter was very anxious to correct. Lord Roden made a characteristically temperate speech on the same side. Lord Plunkett answered the advocates of Orangeism in a manner which appeared to occasion considerable embarassment to one at least of their Lordships. In the dissolution of Orange Lodges he saw the triumph of the law over an institution opposed to the general interests, and to the law itself. Lord Hatherton concurred in this view. Lord Winchilsea defended himself, and lauded the principles of Orangeism. The Marquis of Londonderry's for mal motion for an official Return was then agreed to, and their Lordships adjourned. In the CommoNs', the debate on Lord F. Egerton's motion relative to the Irish Municipal Corporations Reform Bill was adjourned at a quarter past one o'clock this morning. The ob ject of the motion is to abolish corporations in Ireland. Mr. Lefroy, Mr. Serjeant Jackson, and Sir H. Hardinge, were for the demolition of the Corporate Institutions ; Lords Morpeth and Howick opposed the destructive principles advocated by the Tories, and insisted on the applicability of the Ministerial Bill to the wants and wishes of the Irish people. In the earlier part of the evening, a great many petitions were pre sented on the subject of Railways ; one by the Sheriff of London for the removal of disabilities still affecting Dissen ters ; and one from Belfast in favour of the Irish Corporations Bill. The Staffordshire Disfranchisement Bill went through a committee. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Our arrivals this morning are the French and Hamburg mails, and ship letters from Teneriffe, Malta, and St. An drews. The Gazette de Augsburg contains the following letter from Silesia, Feb. 22. :—" A person who has recently arrived from Poland gives a most deplorable description of the state of that unfortunate country. Misery has made such dreadful progress that we can foresee a general bankruptcy at hand. All industry is in a state of stagnation. A great number of merchants are proceeding there to close their accounts, and will not renew their credits. Serious events are expected to take place—the consequences of which the whole of Europe will feel." By the Hamburg mail this morning we have the prices from Vienna td the 27th Feb. Metalliques, 103 1-32 ; Bank Shares, 1,363 ; Prices at Hamburg—Metalliques, 1021 ; Bank Shares, 1,360. The following is from Falmouth, March 6:—" The Royal Tar steamer has arrived this afternoon from Santander. She left on Friday last. Amongst the rest of the pas sengers conveyed is an Aide-de-Camp of General Evans, charged with despatches from Vittoria. The accounts by this vessel state the taking of Plancia on the 29th ult. It surren dered after little fighting, although the slaughter when the Carlists entered is represented to have been considerable. It is stated that the Carlists will immediately besiege Portugalette and afterwards attack Bilboa. The British Legion in and about Vittoria are represented as still suffering much from the typhus fever, which has rendered them inefficient to cope with the Carlists, who are daily harrassing them. Evans's force in con dition to take the field is mentioned not to be more th an 3 , 5 00 men. The Ist, sth, and 7 th regiments have been br o k en up to make others good. A great want of medical office rs i s com plained of. General Cordova is said to be removed from the command, and that Mina succeeds him."

The Clergy of the diocese of Canterbury are to inee on Tuesday next, to confer on the proposed Tithe Bill. SIIIPWRECK.—A sloop, apparently about sixty tons burthen, was upset in a sudden squall, about eight o'clock, A. M., on the Ist inst., a short distance off Bull Bay, about one mile west of Anilwch, and all hands on board unfortunately perished. A schooner which was a short dis tance off (and had her topsail split in the same squall) was seen endeavouring to render assistance to the capsized sloop, but she had sunk out of sight ere the schooner could reach the spot. During the past week Ramsgate has been in a high state of excitement, arising from the zealous exertions of the corporators and anti-corporators to procure signatures to the petitions for and against the grant of a charter of incorporation. The weather during the past week has been more stormy and boisterous than we have experienced during the past winter. Both on Sunday and Tuesday a considerable quantity of snow fell, which in the upper districts of the coun try accumulated to a considerable depth. No coaches arrived here from the north on Tuesday, the road being completely blocked up on Soutra Hill. The guard of the mail, we un derstand, by making a circuit of several miles on horseback, succeeded with much difficulty in getting through. The road is, however, now open, and required to be cut in several places to a depth of 13 feet.—Kelso Chronicle. FACTORY BILL.—A IVleeting was held at Bir mingham last Wednesday to petition Parliament in favour of Mr. C. Hindley's proposed Bill. INTERESTING !—" On Tuesday last," says the Glasgow Herald, "an interesting scene was exhibited at Levenside, such as the oldest inhabitants in that quarter have seldom before witnessed." Then follows a lengthened de scription of how the squire's tenants were treated with meat and drink, whilst those of a higher degree sat down to a good dinner. All which was no doubt vastly interesting to the guests, and is unquestionally worthy of public record. The shoals of mackerel that have appeared in the channel were never known to be so great at this early period of the season as in the present year. The quantity taken is very considerable, and they may be seen in abundance in all the markets of Paris.—Paris Paper. SIIOCKING DEATII.—A most melancholy instance of sudden death from accidental burning, occurred at Taunton on Wednesday last. The deceased was 23 years of age, and had been married only ten weeks. It appeared, from the evidence of the husband, that on Wednesday night, at about ten o'clock, they had both knelt down at prayer, and the de ceased having expressed a wish to kneel near the fire, they did so, and soon after her husband observed her dress burning. He instantly endeavoured to extinguish the fire, and in doing so he burnt both his hands so dreadfully, and became so horri fied, that he scarcely knew what he did ; but he left her, and called aloud for assistance. Two neighbours were almost in stantly on the spot. They had great difficulty in entering the room, it being full of smoke, the unfortunate woman standing at the door, with her arms lifted upwards, and completely enveloped in flames. The fire was soon extinguished, but, dreadful to relate, the deceased expired in a few minutes, and on raising the body the face presented a shocking spectacle.— Bath Herald.
